TREE LEGEND One of the many legends about the Christmas tree tells of Martin Luther wandering through the woods on Christmas Eve and marveling at the stars shining through the branches of the fir trees. Inspired by the sight, he cut a fir tree for his family, set it up, and lighted it with candles to represent the stars. Progressive Market HUNTINGTON A Swiss farm custom foretells the weather for the year: On Christmas Eve a large onion is cut in half, then 12 layers peeled off carefully and each marked with the name of one month. Salt is then poured into each of the 12 onion cups. On Christmas morning the onion sections are examined. Dry salt indicates a fair month ; wet salt, rainy weather. Pennsylvania Germans during the holidays speak of Pelznickel. He is, in part, like Santa Claus with fur trimming on his clothes and a white beard. He carries bags of toys for good children and switches with which he lightly taps bad children. A Norse legend tells how an arrow of mistletoe was used to kill the young god Baldur, who was protected against all injuries that came from the four elements. Mistletoe, which does not spring directly from air, fire, water or earth had the power to destroy him. However, the gods restored Baldur to life and his mother, Frey-jwho was goddess of love and beauty, decreed that mistletoe should be a symbol of peace and that whoever passed beneath it would receive her kiss. a, i 7 etc1 Rosemary, dedicated to remembrance, is almost forgotten.

Reawaken the thought that our most cherished desires will be realized, the things closest to our hearts that we may come to an appreciation of the limitless joys and bountiful rewards of Patience, Charity and Sacrifice. Above all, endow us with the spirit of courage, that we may face the perplexities of a troubled world without flinching, imbued with the child-lik- e faith which envisions the beautiful and inspiring things of life . . . and restore the happy hours and experiences so many of us foolishly believe are lost forever. Give us faith in ourselves and faith in our fellow man then, the treasures and beauties of life that make man happy will spring from an inexhaustible source. And at Christmas, when the hearts of the world swell in joyous celebration, let us cast aside the pretense of sturdy men and live, if only for a day, in the hope and joy we knew as children. .... j 4 8 I 4 ? t E Main 63 2176 Glenda Worthen 1P4 tCTTOtt 384 2338 Mr. and Mrs Reid Bailey cipes Into a book for distributare rejoicing over the arrival ion to the ladies.
